Jahrhundert
A delicious, malty export-style beer that was first brewed in 1978 for the 100th anniversary of the brewery. This light lager is a better complement to food than the higher hopped and more bitter pilsner style.
The invention of refrigeration allowed lagers to be shipped long distances. Dortmund, in Westphalia, was the first German city to develop the "Dortmund" or "Export" style of brewing. This beer was first brewed to commemorate one century of brewing in Aying Bavaria, in 1978.
Golden, big herbaceous bouquet with a soft, medium body and a long lingering finish with dry hop tones.
Schwammerlsuppe (mushroom soup), herb pancakes, pike with sauerkraut, pork roast, sauer-braten, falafel, pot stickers or 100 year old eggs. Serve in willibecker tumbler or stoneware mug at 45 degrees.
